I have finally gotten around to making my own paint booth. Finally having one will hopefully help me actually finish more models as more often than not I get stalled at the paint portion, due to the family complaining about the paint fumes......

anyways here it is, took about 40 bucks and 5 hours to make.

Huuhh, perhaps and it's only my humble opinion, it would be nice to see what is inside or a plan on how-to it was built?


Just saying

I like the way you've built it in, a very usable setup.

Is this for airbrushing? I would box it out in order to prevent overspray onto your bottles — could be a removable hood. And don't forget to wear a respirator even with acrylics.

I love the setup with the cutting mats, why did I not think of this before?

Thanks guys, and Marc I will draw it up for you and post it on here. Behind the filter is a 50CFM ceiling vent. Give me a little bit and will post some more.

Just a comment, but given the size of the filter and that there is no funnelling hood, I think 50CFM is very low to give a proper suction for fumes. There is a computation needed for CFM to provide good exhaust per given area of the opening.
